OD IS CALLING - #21

Written by Johanna Hobrath

 

 

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

~ Psalm 19:14 ~

 

(December 30, 2001)  Have you ever experienced a definite, Divine Appointment with God?  I do believe that many Christians have testimonies of a Divine Encounter with God, the Creator of this Universe.  There are many missionaries and/or ministers of the Gospel that definitely speak about Divine Encounters occurring in their daily lives.

 

Now, I am not talking about something that is too far-fetched to understand and/or to grasp.  The Holy Bible, God’s Written Word, tells us of Divine Encounters in people’s lives.  For this web page, I will not take time to research the many happenings in God’s Holy Word.  However, the Bible -- also on the internet -- is not only a tool for reference, but, also, a guideline for each of us; therefore, helping us to connect with a Holy God that wants to speak through His Word.

 

Prayer may also be a Divine Encounter whereby the Holy Spirit may speak to a person’s heart.  Such a Divine Encounter happened to me on Sunday morning, December 30, 2001.

 

During that morning, after prayer, I took time to write a memo to a few of my friends.  This Web Page will be sent to those friends, and the memo reads as follows:

Dear Friends,

 

It was good seeing you at the niece’s baby shower yesterday, December 29, 2001.  Via conversation with several people, I became re-acquainted with the lives and/or needs of several acquaintances.  If you don’t mind, I shall include you in the Invisible Prayer List of my heart.  You have heard that “confession is good for the soul.”  I must confess that the busyness of daily life and the zeal for the HALO MINISTRIES keeps me very busy.  I am also a member of the Presidential Prayer Team -- one million prayer warriors thus far.  God, through His Wisdom has nudged at my heart this morning and guided me to seek HIM more earnestly on my knees.  With this memo I am including a poem that was written Sunday morning (December 30, 2001).  The poem was placed upon my heart and, therefore, encourages me to take more time to pray on my knees.

 

(P-A-U-S-E -- need to place my roast into the oven. The cut potatoes and freshly cut asparagus are soaking in water - in separate containers, of course.)

 

About my Spouse -- he is en route to down-town Cleveland -- he will be helping with the homeless ministry.

 

IN GOD'S SERVICE, JOHANNA

 

 

GOD IS CALLING

 

 

My child, when will you come into My Presence

When will you seek Me on your knees?

My child, I long to hear your heart’s desire

And answer your call to Me.

 

My child, in the prayer chamber

Kings and queens have called on Me.

In the prayer chamber

The lives of people are dear to Me.

 

Tomorrow is another day

To keep busy with daily living.

It is in the prayer chamber

That God answers our pleas.

 

HEAVENLY FATHER . . . 

forgive my complacent living

Allow my heart to daily seek Thee

And through my prayer can You, Dear God,

Hear my plea

And change the lives for Eternity!
